Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

Arrange an oven rack 4″ from broiler and heat broiler to high. Place jalapeño halves cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet, and broil just until softened, 3-5 minutes; set aside. Place bacon on another baking sheet; broil until fat is rendered and bacon is halfway cooked; set aside.

Turn oven to 425 degrees. Mix cream cheese, Parmesan and chives in a bowl. Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling in each jalapeno half. Wrap each with a strip of bacon and secure with toothpicks. Return to baking sheet and bake until bacon is crisp and filling is melted, 10-12 minutes.
